A Renowned Stranger.

He called himself Nevada Bowie Knife. He sat in a saloon on Randolph street with a fur cap on his head, canvas shoes on his feet, and a knife and revolver in his belt. On the table before, bim was the scalp of a Sioux warrior. The warrior who used to wear it had gone out of the deviltry business ana become a shadow in the spirit land. It wasn’t the only scalp taken by Nevada Bowie Knife. The oilier 200 were barreled up at home to keep them away from the moths*. ; To come down to business, N. B. K. had killed 800 Indians, first and last, and he wasn't half through yet. He was drinking a good deal of beer at the crowd’s expense, and he was on the point of selling the scalp for five dollars, when in came a man who surveyed him closely and called out; “Now you pull down your vest, old boy ! You work in a cooper-shop on High,gtreet, live on Adams avenue, and that seal £> was made of a piece of buffalo-robe stolen from a livery-stable! Get out of here now or I’ll tell about your being in the House of Correction.” The Nevada Bowie Knife didn’t say a word. Even when a stool hit him in the back he didn’t raise an argument. He left behind him the scalp, a bead pincushion and a bad impression, and ere this he has once more placed himself astride of his shave-horse and shaved, shaved, shaved the pliant hoops to further suppleness. —Detroit Free Frest.
